Common Cause Massachusetts to Recognize Stars.

There are 41 municipalities that presently post all key governance records on their websites. The key governance records are: the governing body's agendas and minutes, the present fiscal year budget, the by-laws or ordinances, and, if applicable, the past year's town meeting warrant and town meeting results on their websites. During Sunshine Week, March 11-17, these cities and towns will be publicly recognized by Common Cause Massachusetts as examples of communities committed to open government. If your town or city is not already a "Star," then you can help make it one, and it too will be recognized by Common Cause Massachusetts.

Persuade your town or city officials to post all the key governance records online and notify us when they do so. Common Cause Massachusetts will gladly recognize them as well for their commitment to open government.
